Please don’t mow or spray the dandelions. They are a lifeline for pollinators including bees, butterflies, hoverflies. They support over 50 insect species. Our little film shows the life in a small patch 🐝

An often overlooked and underappreciated creature, the humble snail 💚
Did you know they can find food and mates by smell and taste alone?
Take half an hour this evening and see what species of marvellous molluscs you can find! 🔍 wildaboutgardens.org.uk/

There's a lot of beautiful flowers springing up this time of year, many of which were planted and maintained by volunteers and we kindly ask for them to be left in the ground and not picked. Thank you

Thanks to the hard work of volunteers, in a few short years, we've seen a huge increase in wildlife and biodiversity.
Wonderful to see the trees taking off and the park busting with life!

A huge thank you to everyone who came down to decorate the park Christmas tree on Sunday.
So many people, we were almost overwhelmed with Christmas cheer! Much fun was had creating decorations for the tree and it was lovely so many new connections were made.

Fantastic news! The trees are in!

Really proud that in coming weeks, @wfcouncil will be planting 148 new trees in Higham Hill ward, including 3 new elm trees in HIgham Hill Park and 5 new elms in Cheney Row Park.
This is huge for our ward - we've needed better canopy coverage for a long time and it will help clean our air. 🌲🌳
